Chapter X Nico

"Maybe I should call Mom." I heard Percy say. I slowly opened my eyes and I saw that we were stuck in traffic. "I think she needs to know about us leaving the country."

"No, she'll just worry." Tsuna said. I felt really comfortable. I looked down and saw that there was an arm around me. Blushing, I shifted and tried to sit up. "Well look who's up."

"How long was I asleep?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes and got out of Tsuna's grasp.

"Since we left Camp." Percy said. "You fell asleep right after Tsuna did and laid on him."

"I did?" I asked feeling embarrassed. "Sorry Tsuna."

"It's alright Nico." Tsuna said. "You looked comfortable and I didn't want to wake you up."

"…thanks." I said quietly, trying to hide my blush. I looked out the window and saw that we were still stopped. "How long have we been in traffic?"

"About 45 minutes." Percy said.

"It would be faster if we walked." said Tsuna. "One thing I hate about big cities is the traffic."

"So Seattle has bad traffic?" I wondered.

"I want to say it's worse than this city." Tsuna explained. "Trust me; learning to drive in that city was awful."

I saw Tsuna looking at me in the reflection of the mirror. When I turned around to tell him to stop, he grabbed my chin and looked right at the bruise. He said it looked better, but he wanted to use his abilities to help. I pushed his hand away and glared at him before turning back to the window. In the reflection he looked sad and I felt bad about it.

We started moving again and my stomach growled. I realized that we left before breakfast, and it didn't appear that we were going to be stopping anywhere. I pulled out my bag of cookies and ate a few. It settled my stomach a bit. Tsuna said something about wanting coffee after we passed a Starbucks. We rode for a while until we were south of the city, where there was a lot more fields. Argus stopped the van and we got out. He was nice enough to walk with us to the centaur camp.

If you have never seen a centaur camp before, I don't recommend ever going to one. It was loud, really loud with blaring music. I'm surprised no mortals ever found the camp. That's the power of the Mist for you. A centaur camp is also really messy and very crowded. I felt really uncomfortable and out of place.

"Dudes!" said one centaur. "It's the hero of Olympus and his friends!"

"What's he doing here?" asked another centaur.

"Chiron said he talked to you." Percy said. "About giving us a ride to Seattle."

"Oh yea, that's right…" said a centaur. "He did talk to us."

"And?" Tsuna asked.

"Do you guys want to party?" asked a centaur. "Or some root beer? Do we even have root beer? Do we have any root beer?!"

"We don't want any root beer!" I yelled.

"Yeesh kid, chill out." said the centaur.

"So can we have a ride?" Tsuna asked.

"Yea, hop on." said the centaur.

We said goodbye and thanks to Argus as we got on three centaurs. They started to run and the world began to shift and blend together. I couldn't make out anything. I did see Tsuna smiling happily with his arms up. He must have been having fun. I wasn't sure how long we were riding, but it seemed like a long time. We eventually stopped in a grassy field. The centaurs were tired.

"You guys okay?" Percy asked.

"No worries my two legged brother." said the centaur out of breath. "We just need to rest for a bit."

"Go and have fun." said the centaur I was riding on. "There's an outlet mall over there."

"Yea, there are some places to get food too." said Tsuna's centaur. The three centaurs collapsed and fell asleep.

"Well, let's get going." Tsuna said as he stretched his legs. "I'm starting to feel bowlegged."

We walked to the mall, past several fields of wheat. We soon passed by several parking lots. I saw a couple of interesting stores, but a lot of it was girl's clothing. We walked around and found a mall map.

"So what do you guys want to eat?" Tsuna asked. "They've got a Chile's, an Applebee's, and all sorts of good places."

"I'm open to anything." Percy said. "Nico?"

"Do they have a McDonalds?" I asked.

"Don't you want something other than McDonalds?" Tsuna asked. I just gave him a blank stare. "Okay then. McDonalds it is."

So we ate at McDonalds. Percy got a Big Mac, Tsuna got a chicken club sandwich, and I ate the Chicken Nuggets. Percy and Tsuna laughed that I ate that. After we ate we walked around the mall. We went into a shoe store, an athletic store called Under Armor, and Aeropostle. We passed a place that Tsuna was thrilled to see. It was located under a large chimney, and was called Cold Stone Creamery.

Sorry Aunt Sally, but I have a new favorite place in the world now. This place makes the best ice cream I ever had. They even allow you to make your own ice cream with anything you want in it! I got a cake batter ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, M&M's, brownies. Percy got a simple banana sundae while Tsuna got something called a Hunka Chunka Burnin' Fudge. It looked as good as mine did. Tsuna saw that I was eyeing his ice cream, so he shared with me.

We went back to the centaurs after our ice cream. I asked Tsuna if we could get them a drink and he said that it was fine. We stopped by McDonalds again and got three of their largest Root Beers. The centaurs were banging their heads together when we got back. They were really excited to get a drink. They even said that they'll go into turbo, whatever that means.

Before we got into Seattle we hit rain. A lot of rain. I was soaked when we got off the centaurs. Before we could say thanks for the ride, the centaurs rushed off somewhere else. It was still raining. Percy put his hood up, but Tsuna looked really happy. He had his arms raised up and his face was pointed up into the sky.

"Home…" Tsuna said as he looked around. I looked to where he was looking and I saw a saucer like building.

"Do you want to look around Tsuna?" I asked. "Since you haven't been here for a while?"

"No, I'm fine." He said. "Let's just on the plane."

"You know, this is my first time in this part of the country." Percy said.

"Really?" Tsuna asked.

"It's mine too." Nico said.

"Sorry, I would show you around if we didn't have to go on this quest." Tsuna said. He put his arms around Percy's and my shoulders. "Tell you what, how about after this quest we persuade Sally and Paul to drive us up here and I show you all around. Seattle is has many great places to see, like the Space Needle, the Science Center, and the Aquarium."

"Sounds cool." I said.

"Yeah, it will be great family vacation." Percy said. My eyes went wide when Percy said that. I knew that Percy thought of me as family, but it still felt weird when he said it. I felt happy about it too. I felt that I belonged somewhere.

"You alright Neeks?" asked Tsuna.

"Yeah." I said. "Where are we?"

"I'd say we're near Bow Lake." Tsuna said. "The airport is that way. Let's get hiking."

We walked through the small woods and wound up at a hotel parking lot. Tsuna apparently knew where he was going, so Percy and I just followed him. We got into the airport and saw that it was really crowded. Tsuna pushed our way to the ticket person. I wonder how we looked to her, a couple of soaked kids with dirty clothes and no luggage other than the back packs on their backs.

"Hello ma'am." Tsuna said. "I would like three tickets to Japan please."

"Three tickets to Japan?" asked the attendant. "Why do you want to go to Japan?"

"Well, I want to learn about my heritage." Tsuna said. "And my brothers wanted to come along."

"Brothers?" the attendant said. "The three of you don't really look alike. Well, you two do."

"Technically, Nico's my cousin." Tsuna said as he hooked his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close. "My parents raised him along with us, so he's pretty much our brother."

"Okay then." said the attendant. She typed away at her computer. "Let's see…sorry, we only have First Class seating left. Wow, we even have three seats left."

"Cool, we'll take them." Tsuna said with a smile. "Do you need to see our passports?"

"No, I don't." she said. "How do you expect to pay for the tickets? They're very expensive. I don't think-"

"Money's not an issue." Tsuna said as he took out the black Olympian credit card. "Mom and Dad gave me this. Said that I could use it for whatever the three of us need."

She took the card and printed out our tickets. We went through security without a problem. I'm surprised that my pocket knife-disguised-Stygian Iron sword didn't raise any alarms. Maybe metal from the Underworld or Olympus isn't traceable by mortal standards. We were still wet when we went through security, so Percy dragged us to the bathroom. He and Tsuna used their powers to get all the water off our clothes so we were dry.

"Hey, Nico hang back a second." Tsuna said as Percy walked out.

"What is it?" I asked. He turned on the water in the sink and wet his hand.

"How's your cheek feeling?" Tsuna asked.

"It's fine Tsuna." I said. "You don't need to worry about it."

"Well, I'm going to anyways." Tsuna said. He grabbed me shoulder and pulled me closer. He put his wet hand on my cheek and I felt the pain go away. He was looking right in my eyes. But I was too close to Tsuna, and my heart beat faster. I could already feel my cheeks warm up so I pushed him away. I looked in the mirror and saw that the bruise was gone.

"You healed me." I said. Tsuna walked up to me and hugged me tightly.

"I know you don't want to talk about it Neeks," Tsuna started, "But please know that no matter what happens, I will always be there for you."

"Thanks Tsuna." I said. I looked at him through the corner of my eye after we separated. "I, uh, need to use the restroom, so can you wait for me outside?"

"Sure." Tsuna said. "I wouldn't want you to get lost in here."

"Thanks." I said.

Tsuna left and I went into one of the stalls. I sat down, waiting for my heart to slow down. But I kept thinking about Tsuna, and Percy. I felt my face flush and I hated it. Hated what I am. I repeatedly punched the side of the stall, causing dents, in order to block out my feelings. I lost count how many times I hit it before my hand started hurting. I fought back the tears, not wanting the others to see. The door to the restroom opened and there was a knock on the stall door.

"Did you fall in Nico?" It was Percy. He was laughing at his little joke. Gods, why did I have to be on a Quest alone with the two people I…I…

"I'm almost done." I said as I flexed my hand. "Just wait outside."

"Take your time Nico." Percy said. "Our flight doesn't leave for a while."

"Thanks." I said.

When I was sure he was gone I got out of the stall. I went to the sink and splashed water in my face. Looking in the mirror nothing looked different, you know, for me. Still the same glum face. I dried my face and when I got to the door I took a deep breath and walked out the door. The others didn't seem to notice anything, but Tsuna did glance at me every now and again.

Our plane didn't leave for about two hours, so we sat and waited. Percy watched our bags while me and Tsuna went to go get snacks. It was mainly peanuts and chocolate bars. I smelled coffee and saw that we were passing a Starbucks. We passed another one when we got back to our seats. Tsuna went and got us all coffee. His reasoning is that you can't go to Seattle without getting coffee.

"Did you guys see this?" Percy asked us. He was watching the weather channel. "It's saying Japan is having really weird weather."

"Weird weather?" I asked. "What do you mean?"

"It's saying that there's a massive snowstorm all around Japan." Percy explained. "Even in south Japan, which the weather woman says doesn't get snow during this time of the year. There's also strong wind storms."

"Do you think it has something to do with our quest?" I asked Tsuna.

"Probably." Tsuna said. "Even if it wasn't, it's going to make it more difficult."

"Now boarding for Flight 473 to Kagoshima Japan." said a man over the intercom. "I repeat; we are now boarding for Flight 473 to Kagoshima Japan. All those with First Class tickets and Family pre-boarding passes are to come to the front of the line and have your passports ready."

"There's our flight." Tsuna said as he stood up and drained his coffee. "Ready?"

"You bet." Percy said while I nodded.

We walked up to the boarding guy and gave him our tickets. He asked for our passports and we showed him the spelled booklets. He stared at them for a little bit, maybe trying to see if they were fake. I was afraid that the books magic had faded already. But he just said that they were real and handed them back to us. We walked through the tunnel that connected the airport to airplane.

The three of us were led to the First Class seating. I have never been in airplane before, and looking at the seat Tsuna got us I'm glad this is the first time I flew on an airplane. The seats looked really cushiony and there was a lot of space between them. They even have foot rests! We sat really close to each other, with two of us in one seat, as they were the size of Sally's love seat. Percy and Tsuna sat together first, so I got a whole large seat to myself, and I was next to the window.

Percy found a small television that had a small selection of movies. When I asked the stewardess, she said that you have to pay for the movies. Tsuna gave me the Olympian credit card and I got a couple of movies to watch. I order several long movies, the Lord of the Rings series specifically.

"Thank you all for choosing Japan Airlines for your trip to the Land of the Rising Sun." said one flight attendant over the intercom. "Our flight time will be approximately ten hours, so please sit back and relax."

After the flight attendants showed us all the safety procedures, the captain of the plane spoke over the intercom and said that the skies are rougher than expected, and said that it will be a bumpier ride. We started to pull away from where we boarded and started to gain speed. When we started to pull up, I grew nervous.

"Are you alright Nico?" Tsuna asked. "You're shaking."

"I'm fine." I said as I gripped the armrests tighter. "I just never flew in an airplane before."

"Well, I guess it's time for you to earn that aviator's jacket, right?" Tsuna said jokingly.

"Yeah, sure." I said.

After we were in the sky, I immediately felt what the captain meant about a bumpy ride. The plane shook and I was nearly thrown from my seat a couple of times, despite wearing a seat belt. I tried to watch the movies, but the flight was too distracting. So Percy watched the movies while I looked out the window. Tsuna slept most of the flight. After a large shake Percy spoke up.

"I guess Zeus never meant to give us an easy flight." He said. We had switched seats, so now I was sitting with Tsuna.

"You think?" Tsuna asked sarcastically.

"Oh!" I remembered. I took out the old book from my backpack. "Tsuna, Chiron asked me to give you this book."

"Really?" He said as he took the book. "It's in Japanese. Why would he want me to have it?"

"He didn't say." I said. "He did say that it's full of stories related to Japanese mythology."

"Hmm." Tsuna said as he flipped through the book. I yawned and he noticed. "You should rest Nico. It's getting pretty late."

"Okay." I said with another yawn. I leaned back, but Tsuna pulled me onto him. I tried to fight it, but he kept a hold of me. "Tsuna-"

"Just relax Nico." Tsuna said. "You can always lean on my shoulder."

I felt embarrassed, but I was more tired. I fell asleep despite the shaking plane. I slept longer than I expected, as Percy was waking me up. I was sitting with Percy now; Tsuna must have switched seats while I was napping. Percy said we were descending into Japan. Tsuna was staring out the window, watching the scene go by. I stood up and looked as well. It was a truly beautiful sight, despite all the snow. I could see a large city, but not too far was a large forest and an even bigger series of mountains.

"What's it like being here Tsuna?" I asked.

"Not sure." He said. "I never was too connected with my Japanese heritage, other than Kendo. Oh! That's where Godzilla and Space Godzilla fought!"

"Godzilla?" I asked.

"Geez Neeks, how many things do I have to show you?" Tsuna wondered. "Now that I think about it, I wonder if Tokyo has a Godzilla museum."

We arrived in Japan safe and sound. As soon as we got into the terminal, I saw how crowded it was. People were coming and going. The Japanese people even had surgical masks over their mouths. I asked why they did that, but Tsuna didn't have a clue. Hoisting our bags, we stayed together to find a ride. Tsuna found a person who set people up at hotels and get them rides to places. Luckily she spoke English. After she set up a reservation for the hotel she called us a taxi.

We got our ride and slowly made it to our hotel. It was a fancy place. Tsuna was definitely using the unlimited funds that credit card had. We were shown to our room by a bellhop and it was nice looking. There were two beds with silk sheets, ornate wooden chairs, a dresser, and a flat screen TV.

"Two beds." I stated.

"Yep." Percy responded. "Which one do you want Nico?"

"It doesn't matter." I said as I let my back pack fall from my shoulder.

"You can have your own bed Nico." Tsuna said. "Percy and I will share."

"I, I don't mind sharing…" I said, though I was grateful. "You don't have to be so nice to me Tsuna."

"Course I do." He said with a smile that was obnoxious as Percy's.

"Why?" I said.

"Because I want to." Tsuna said. "Before we go get something to eat, I'm taking a shower."

So he went into the bathroom and showered. Percy and I relaxed on our beds and turned on the TV. Percy flipped through the channels, trying to find something that he could understand. Tsuna got out the bathroom soon after, and asked if anybody else was going to take one. I went into the bathroom before Percy said anything. The warm water felt good and relaxing after our long flight. Percy took one when I was done. Before we left Tsuna sent an Iris Message to Chiron that we arrived in Japan safely.

After we were all cleaned up we left the hotel and found a restaurant. I had this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach that something was going to happen, so I insisted that we bring our bags with us. The restaurant was really cool! They cooked right in front of us. Part of the table was a large grill, and the chef made something called an onion volcano.

"Anata wa nani o tabetaidesu ka?" asked the large chef when we sat down.

"Yes, I would like the Sutēki to yasai men kudasai." Tsuna said, as if nothing happened. Percy and I stared at him, shocked. "What?"

"You spoke Japanese." I said.

"Īe, watashi wa shimasendeshita imasen." Tsuna said in Japanese.

"You just did it again!" Percy said.

"The hell is going on?" Tsuna asked himself.

Despite Tsuna slipping into Japanese, the meal he ordered for us was delicious. After dinner we walked back to the hotel. We got lost though. Tsuna was looking at the signs, but we kept getting turned around. We event tried to ask people for help, but they ignored us. We ended up in a shadier area of the city.

"Why didn't you just call a taxi?" Percy asked.

"I don't know." Tsuna said. "Couldn't you shadow travel us back to the hotel?"

"Shadow travel is tricky." I explained. "And it's exhausting, especially if I take somebody else with me."

"There goes that option then." Tsuna said.

We walked around some more. There were teenagers with scratches on their face and wearing uniforms. They were smoking and watching us. When we passed they waited for a second then began to follow us. In front of us was another group of teenagers, who had bats in their hands. There was a very large man behind them. He was very tall and had long, scraggily black hair. He wore and open red vest which showed us that he had a lot of muscles. He wore tiger print pants, which reminded me of Mr. D. Swung over his shoulder was a large black bat.

"Let's go this way." Tsuna said, leading us into an alley. But it was a dead end and as the teenagers and the large man entered, we were trapped.

"Well, look what I found." Said the large man in heavily accented English. "Did you know you're a wanted person Umi no Musuko?"

"What are you?" Tsuna demanded.

"What do mean?" asked the man. "I'm a human."

"Yea, you blew that when you called me Umi no Musuko." Tsuna said.

"The son of the sea is smart, like his dad." The man said.

"What are you?" Percy asked, Riptide (in pen form) in his hand.

"What? Can't you tell a human when you see one?" the large man said. "They're only hypnotized to do what I want."

"A gang of hypnotized teenagers." I said. "Very threatening."

"Yes, I know." The man said. "When they're alone they are not very scary, but in large groups they can be quite threatening. Especially when you give them weapons."

"You're not human though." I said as I tried to look beyond the Mist. I saw that the large man's body shift in appearance and his skin looked really red.

"Why don't you show us what you really look like?" Percy said.

"Eh, I don't like to scare the people." The man said. "With today's weapons, they are really more annoying. Can't just run into a village and grab a mouthful of humans anymore."

"So who and what are you?" Tsuna asked, his sword appearing in his hand. Percy uncapped Riptide and I took out my black pocket knife. I flipped the blade out and it grew into my Stygian Iron sword.

"Easy now, you don't want to hurt the humans." The man said, putting his free hand up defensively. "Though the Greek metals won't even cut them would they? But the katana on the other hand, well, Divine Steel doesn't have the same prejudice as the Greeks."

"Your sword isn't made from Greek metal?" I asked Tsuna. I wasn't even going to tell the large guy how Stygian Iron really works.

"Nico, now's not the time to be curious of my sword." Tsuna said. He pointed his sword at the large man "Tell us what you really are and release the kids."

"Right to the point. I like that Umi no Musuko." said the large man. "Call me Hyousuke, an Oni. Now, I would rather bring you to Daranibō in one piece, but if you even think about running…well, I can't guarantee anything."

He swung his black bat around to show us his point. The teenagers began to walk towards us, taking out brass knuckles, pocket knives, and bats of their own. I was about to shadow travel us somewhere safe, despite the risk it would be to me, when I saw that the walls of the alleyway had old, leaking pipes on them. I motioned them to look at them, and I saw a plan forming in their eyes.

Percy and Tsuna looked at the walls closest to them and concentrated. I heard the pipes shaking from what they were doing. The teenagers came closer and I could see that their eyes were dulled, probably because they were spelled like Hyousuke said. Then I heard a loud sound coming from the pipes. Water began to pour out of them, and then with a sound like thunder a huge wave of water exploded from both walls. Tsuna and Percy directed the water towards the spelled teenagers and Hyousuke. The wave of water pushed them back out of the alley. We quickly ran out of the alley.

"Get back here!" yelled Hyousuke. He lunged at us and grabbed me by my jacket.

"Let go!" I yelled as I struggled in his grip.

"Nico!" Percy and Tsuna yelled. Percy uncapped Riptide again and rushed at Hyousuke. Tsuna made the water underneath Hyousuke coil around him like ropes.

"This can't hold me!" yelled the Oni.

He started to struggle against the water ropes. Percy went to stab him, but Hyousuke maneuvered his black bat against Riptide. Percy was forced back because of the recoil. This distracted Hyousuke from noticing Tsuna from unzipping my jacket and pulling me through it.

"My jacket!" I yelled. My backpack fell from my jacket and Tsuna picked it up.

"I'll get you a new one, come on!" Tsuna said as he pulled me away. "Percy!"

"You'll never get away from me!" screamed Hyousuke. "I know what you look like"

"Nico, we need some cover!" Percy yelled.

"But my jacket-" I started to say.

"Nico, forget the jacket!" Tsuna yelled. "The Oni will kill us if we don't get out of here."

I didn't argue with him. I wanted my jacket though. But to get us to safety I used my powers to make an entire area without any light. Darkness spread across the alley way, covering Hyousuke in a black cloud. The three of us then ran as fast as we could away from the Oni and into a more monitored area. When we stopped running Tsuna started looking around, his eyes darting from sign to sign.

"What are you doing?!" Percy asked.

"Reading." Tsuna said. "I'm trying to find a clothing store."

"Why?" Percy asked. "And since when can you read Japanese."

"Since Nico gave me that book from Chiron. And Hyousuke knows what we look like." Tsuna explained. "We need to blend in better. New clothes equal camouflage."

"Wha-?" Percy and I started to ask.

"There!" Tsuna said, and then he pulled us into the store.

As soon as we went in he dragged us into the guys section. He went through the clothes and found stuff in our sizes. He pushed us into the dressing rooms and told us to get changed. Percy and I didn't have time to argue as he went into another dressing room. I took off my clothes, stuffed them into my back pack, and changed into the ones Tsuna picked out for me. I was wearing black jeans that were even darker than my usual pair and a black shirt that had a weird red heart design on it.

I walked out and waited for Percy and Tsuna. Percy came out after me. He was wearing dark green straight cut pants and a blue striped long sleeve hooded top with a grey double breasted coat. Tsuna then came out of his dressing room wearing black washed jeans and a dark blue drawstring hooded t-shirt with a black asymmetric zip cotton biker jacket.

"Ready?" Tsuna asked. We nodded. "Let's go."

We went to go pay for out new clothes. While we waited in line Tsuna looked around. He saw something then went to grab whatever caught his eye. He came back with a hooded leather jacket that had silver tassels.

"Here Nico." Tsuna said. He handed me the jacket. "Sorry about your aviator's jacket. This was the best I could find."

"You found this for me?" I asked. I slipped it on and it felt nice. "Thanks Tsuna."

"You're welcome buddy." Tsuna said as he ruffled my hair.

We paid for all of our new clothes after I had my new jacket. The sales lady was really nice about us wearing our new clothes out. When we started to walk out I saw Hyousuke and some of his hypnotized gang enter the store, with my jacket still in his hand. My jacket's sleeves were pointed right at me.

"My jacket!" I yelled. I felt someone grab my hand I looked and saw that it was Tsuna.

"Run." Tsuna said. He looked at Percy. "Run!"

So we ran. Hyousuke and his gang ran after us. We pushed through crowds of people, and so did Hyousuke. Tsuna used his powers to make the snow turn into water and trip up Hyousuke, while I used darkness to block his vision. He roared in anger every time we slowed him down. Tsuna got an idea while we ran. He read the signs again and dragged Percy and me by the hands to a bus stop.

"Anata ga kita midashi?" the driver asked as we got on the bus.

"Hai, kita." Tsuna said in Japanese. We were so scared and tired that none of us cared about it at the moment.

He swiped the Olympian card and paid for our fare. We took our seat at the back of the bus and breathed a sigh of relief. Then we heard loud stomping. I turned back and saw Hyousuke running after us. He must have been half way between his true form and his disguise because he was larger and his bat was more of a spiked club now. Luckily for us the bus had already started moving out, so he slowly disappeared in the distance.

"So what do we do now?" I asked after I caught my breath.

"Who knows?" Tsuna said. "But if the Fates want us to do something, they'll make us do it."

"Where are we heading right now?" Percy asked.

"North." Tsuna said. "I don't know where exactly, but north."

"Let's just enjoy the ride." I said. I was getting really tired. I yawned loudly.

"Your powers wear you out?" Tsuna asked.

"Yea." I said and my eyes got heavier. "I just need to rest up."

"Then take a nap." Tsuna said.

"We'll wake you up when we stop or we figure out where we're going." Percy said.

"Thanks guys." I said as I closed my eyes. I fell asleep, and with the snickers that I heard Tsuna and Percy let out, I figured I was laying on one of their shoulders again. Why do I keep doing that?
